Duntzenheim can be explored through precise architectural and historical details: the Protestant church has a clearly described location, two farmhouses feature dated details on different structural elements, and opening hours are listed for Le P'tit Marché à la ferme. The distinction matters when planning your visit: the years associated with the houses refer to individual doors and posts, while the market hours specify a particular day of the week. Depending on your interests, you can focus on church history, architecture or a visit to the market.

The Protestant Church and Its History

Duntzenheim's Protestant church stands on Place de l'Église on elevated ground surrounded by the old cemetery. This location and its surroundings are as much a part of the church's character as its historical dates. The church is dedicated to Saint Martin; it became Protestant in 1545. The dedication identifies the saint to whom the church is dedicated, while the year records the transition to the Reformation. These are two distinct historical facts, not two construction dates. Those interested in local history can consider the religious dedication and the history of the Reformation separately.

Historic Features at Two Farmhouses

The farmhouses at 13 rue de Saverne and 1 rue des Pierres are residences, not sites designated for interior visits. The focus is on their exterior architectural details, which can be viewed from the street. The residence at 13 rue de Saverne can be dated to the mid-18th century; the pedestrian gate bears the year 1784. There is also a projecting gallery with a railing featuring crossed diamond shapes and St Andrew's crosses. This allows you to distinguish the approximate date of the house, the date on the pedestrian gate and the railing's geometric pattern. The details refer to different features, not to a single date for the entire property.

At the farmhouse at 1 rue des Pierres, the dates are likewise associated with specific structural elements: 1718 appears on the cellar door, 1719 on the lower corner post and 1725 on the pedestrian gate. The gate also bears a farming emblem featuring a ploughshare, a scraper and a ploughshare tip. Comparing it with the farmhouse on rue de Saverne reveals different kinds of historic details: there, the focus is on an approximate date for the house, a dated pedestrian gate and the design of the gallery railing; here, you can distinguish three structural elements with their own dates as well as an agricultural emblem. The individual dates should therefore not be read as a single construction year for either farmhouse.

Le P'tit Marché à la ferme

Le P'tit Marché à la ferme is located at 9 rue des Vergers in Duntzenheim. Its listed opening hours are Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This gives you a specific time window for planning a market visit, but it is not an all-day event. Opening hours may change, so check them before your visit.

The topics offer different points of interest: the church is notable for its location, dedication and history of the Reformation, while the farmhouses stand out for the precise attribution of dates and design features. The market differs in that its listed hours are on Wednesday. If one particular focus matters to you, you can weigh the historical details according to your interests and plan around the market hours separately. This keeps the market's schedule clearly distinct from the buildings' historical dates.
